Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Tefillin, and Tallit are important because they make us remember about god and how we serve him. Tallit and Tefillin are also used while praying and that is one way we serve him. The tefillin serve the purpose of reminding us of our actions
(this one goes on our arm) and our thoughts (this one goes on our head), they als0 remind us of the 613 mitzvot. Tefillin are 2 black leather boxes with parchments of the Torah. Tallits are used as prayer shawls because after the Second Temple was destroyed they decided to use them as a prayer shawl and not an everyday item. I find it interesting that girls have bat mitzvah before the boys because it says that the girls are more mature than boys.
